Something I overlooked from our experiences from the last week. I am going to include it as an additional post today:
We had a
very tender experience as we listened to the spirit. One dear sister who
recently joined the church has not been coming out to church in the past few
weeks and we were asked to visit her. . We were there when she was
baptized and have been trying to see her but have not caught her at home.
Well, Sunday night we felt impressed to stop by her home. She was just
pulling into her driveway. We chatted with her and she asked us if we
would like to come in. We, of course, said that we did. We talked
to her about her experiences of the day and found that she had attended a
mission farewell in Wellsville for a young man who was going to the
Philippines. We talked to her about the tender mercies of the Lord and
she hesitated and said that she didn’t know if the Lord was aware of her at
this time in her life. She has been through a difficult time and was hurt
emotionally by a person she thought was a friend. (not a member of the
church). She was beginning to wonder why the Lord would let things like
that happen to her. We talked some more and then showed her the video
“Mountains to climb”. She cried throughout the video and then when it was
done. Her heart opened up and she expressed to us that she saw that other
people have hard times, harder than hers. We told her that the Lord had sent
us to see her. We continued to listen to her and cried together. As
we were leaving we asked if we could have prayer with her and she said she
would say it. She prayed that the Lord would help her go to church and
reach out to the member of the church. She prayed that the Lord would
heal her heart. The Lord is so aware of his children! What a
privilege to be his servants!
